In reply to Debbra Dunning Brouillette. Fondue is so social!

I am a cheese lover so both of these sound wonderful but the fondue would, I think, be my favorite, too. I had a fondue pot years ago as well and had fun bringing it out for small dinner parties. Having hundreds of cheese varieties to try in Switzerland would be heavenly!

In reply to Jackie K Smith. Yes, always nice to "dig in" to a place and not feel rushed.

In reply to Doreen Pendgracs. Made me curious...are there any cheese and chocolate pairings?

Irene, this is a post close to my heart. I love Switzerland so dearly. And I love Swiss cheese almost as much as Swiss chocolate! Really enjoy both fondue and raclette.

I’ve tried both and love both. Always look forward to another visit to Switzerland so I can have some more.

Now that would be a difficult choice, but I like the idea of ordering both!! We need to get to Zurich sometime. . . and stay long enough to eat several meals there!

A lovely reminder of my trip to Zurich and eating fondue. I didn’t get to try raclette – perhaps next time!

In reply to Judy Freedman. Especially when you're visiting one of the world's cheese capitals!

I vote for both too. Although I’ve had to watch my cheese consumption since my cholesterol is so high. But it’s worth a splurge.

I’m impressed with your Zurich taste-testing, Irene, and respect your preference for fondue. For me, though, raclette is the Swiss-cheesy dish of choice. I especially love the pickles, and the variously seasoned raclette cheeses to melt over potatoes. Raclette with my Swiss neighbors in Basel was the beginning of Anita’s Feast, the subject of Post #1!

In reply to Sue Reddel. And then you would still have to travel to France:-)
